Rent-A-Wreck Lyrics
All these rocky mountains
to play five songs and drink some more and fall asleep.
Getting taped by locals.
Don't have the nerve to ask for food and die of thirst
in the backseats of rented rigs.
Let's hope these wheels got what it takes to carry us home.
Backdrops made of denim,
t-shirts salesmen, and the followers it brings.
Single package systems.
Soul VJs said you know the riot that that brings.
I wanna turn all your dancefloors
into a burning inferno of ba-ba.
I play the piano
and I play the guitar.
I've played it on clubs
and I've played it in bars.
I visit your cities
and I've slept on your floors.
I borrowed your swings
and I've heard your hardcore.
All the scores of the C
To the A of the youth of today.
And it's beautiful.
Still, I can't get enough of it.
Did you see me eating Frosteds from the fridge?
And the rice cookies you never ate
were all gone when you went into the kitchen.
to play five songs and drink some more and fall asleep.
Getting taped by locals.
Don't have the nerve to ask for food and die of thirst
in the backseats of rented rigs.
Let's hope these wheels got what it takes to carry us home.
t-shirts salesmen, and the followers it brings.
Single package systems.
Soul VJs said you know the riot that that brings.
I wanna turn all your dancefloors
into a burning inferno of ba-ba.
and I play the guitar.
I've played it on clubs
and I've played it in bars.
I visit your cities
and I've slept on your floors.
I borrowed your swings
and I've heard your hardcore.
All the scores of the C
To the A of the youth of today.
Did you see me eating Frosteds from the fridge?
And the rice cookies you never ate
were all gone when you went into the kitchen.

So I listened to this song for about 3 months without even really listening to the words. I just liked the tune. Then I decided I should try to, you know, sing the actual lyrics rather than ba-ba-ba-ing along. It seems to me that this song is about trying to make it in the music industry. To me, the writer is saying that even though we have no money, can't afford food, and have to sleep on strangers' floors while we tour, we love doing this so much that it's wonderful.
I guess.
My favorite line is, "I wanna turn all your dancefloors into a burning inferno of ba-ba."
Also, I'm sure there are mistakes in these lyrics since I really wasn't sure what he was singing at some points but I couldn't find lyrics elsewhere. So let me know if you see an error. (I'm pretty sure "Backdrops made of Dannon" is wrong.)
Corrections!
"rented wrecks", "soul DJs" and "I borrowed your strings and I've heard all your scores of the C to the A"
This is an anthem.. should be the soundtrack of every band's tour!
